Here is my wifes Christmas present, i took some leftover cedar from building my last vanity and turned it into a charging station for her 2 ipads, i phone and iwatch. Bought a 4 port usb charging hub and installed it to the bottom so all the plugs go to the hub and only one plug goes to the wall. Yeah i could have bought one for 25 bucks but I built this and i think that means a lot more. Also my first project with no metal fasteners at all. Only glue, biscuits, and dowels to hold it all together.

How to you fasten the bunks to the top? I assume there is some sort of quick disconnect? Those knobs on the cross members?The cover stays on the truck all the time but the bunks come off when not in use?

BK I thought the same thing and really expected more out of OCD. 
At least the winch is Warn and not Harbor freight.

Sounds like a bunch of excuses to me.
Bow stop may be your back window some day and maybe the inside of the wind shield. We will need a video of this also.Sounds like a bunch of excuses to me.
Dont forget the back of his head shoul slow the ski down should the primary bowstop (rear window) fail
I have no zero experience in being a machinist so I'm turning here for advice. I'm installing a 1100 kawi engine into a seadoo. Part of the issue is making a seadoo driveshaft fit the kawi engine. Most people have been modifying a seadoo driveshaft to screw on a kawi coupler. To get a custom one piece driveshaft made is $600. The other problem is that it's a TIGHT fit between the carrier bearing and the coupler.
I was thinking of going a different direction. Would it be possible to machine a coupler like this that could be threaded onto a kawi pto? What does the X think?

For those who don't like plywood...$400 vs $33.
Worth every penny though.

Do renos count? Been busy with our home, one of the reasons i didnt ride last year. House was built in 1880, needed lots of work. The plumbing retrofit to the home was very poorly done considering we bought it from a plumber. Most of it was their lack of structural know-how, so they did a great job plowing through 80% of a couple 2x10's... Idiots. We sistered the 2x10 floor under the new tub, laid 3/4" ply, quarter inch concrete board then 3/8 porcelain tile.
Before. To the left was a closet, the shower is the right side. it had a almost flat roof that was 5'10" (Im 6'9" tall).
After:
New shower mid progress: We pushed the bathroom 3' wider, its now 7x12'. This is a 39x39" Neo Angle, with 7' glass.
And just finished hanging drywall last night in our pantry. Wish I had a before pic, it was a mess of sagging shelves, barn boards jerry rigged to the wall, awful insulation job and no roof, so the cold air from the attic poured into the house. Boxed is the dryer ducting. Hole in the floor is the old oil tank's footing that will be filled.
If theres interest I'll make a house thread on our renos.

That's looking real good. What's the material used on the wall of the shower?
I am not looking forward to it but my next major project will be a bathroom reno. The base of our fiberglass shower unit is not supported correctly so it's starting to develop a bunch of cracks. And we all know you can't just fix the one thing that's damaged...

looks like a 12"x24" Marble or Marble look Porcelain Tile.
12x24 marble look porcelain. We were going to go for marble, but this was half the cost, less weight and stronger, plus easy to clean and no sealing required. We used the schluter system. tip, buy the good mortar, not the cheap stuff, Kerabond for us, and mix it wet. we put it on backerboard and that stuff sucked the water out of the mortar in seconds. Kerdi-board would have been a better option too.

Schluter is good. We use the Karabond also. Assuming you used Kerdi waterproofing. Looks like you built your curb out of the kerdiboard.
